Which DEA form is used for the destruction of a controlled substance?

The appropriate form used for the destruction of controlled substances is Form 41. This form is specifically designed for registrants to report the destruction of controlled substances to the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). It is essential for maintaining compliance with federal regulations governing the handling, storage, and disposal of controlled drugs. By using Form 41, pharmacies and other entities ensure they are following the legal requirements to properly document the destruction of these substances, which helps prevent misuse and keep accurate records for regulatory purposes.

In contrast, Form 106 is utilized to report theft or significant loss of controlled substances, while Form 222 is used for the ordering of Schedule I and II controlled substances. Form 350 does not pertain to controlled substance transactions related to destruction. Understanding the specific purpose of each form is crucial for compliance with DEA regulations and for the responsible management of controlled substances in any pharmacy setting.
